How does the electron transport system generate ATP ?
Correct answer: B. Chemiosmosis
- A. Symbiosis
- B. Chemiosmosis
- C. Both of these
- D. None of these
Explanation
Chemiosmosis is the movement of protons down an electrochemical gradient created by a partially permeable membrane via ATP synthase (stalked particles) embedded in the membrane to produce ATP.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
